Anchoring of self-assembled plasmid DNA/anti-DNA antibody/cationic lipid micelles on bisphosphonate-modified stent for cardiovascular gene delivery
PURPOSE To investigate the anchoring of plasmid DNA/anti-DNA antibody/cationic lipid tri-complex (DAC micelles) onto bisphosphonate-modified 316 L coronary stents for cardiovascular site-specific gene delivery. METHODS Stents were first modified with polyallylamine bisphosphonate (PAA-BP), thereby enabling the retention of a PAA-BP molecular monolayer that permits the anchoring (via vector-bi...
متن کاملSelf-assembled nanoparticles based on modified cationic dipeptides and DNA: novel systems for gene delivery
BACKGROUND Gene therapy is most effective when delivery is both efficient and safe. However, it has often proven difficult to find a balance between efficiency and safety in case of viral or polymeric vectors for gene therapy. Peptide based delivery systems may be attractive alternatives but their relative instability to proteolysis is a major concern in realizing their potential application in...
متن کاملSelf-assembled DNA Structures for Nanoconstruction
In recent years, a number of research groups have begun developing nanofabrication methods based on DNA self-assembly. Here we review our recent experimental progress to utilize novel DNA nanostructures for self-assembly as well as for templates in the fabrication of functional nano-patterned materials. We have prototyped a new DNA nanostructure known as a cross structure. This nanostructure ha...
متن کاملNonviral gene delivery: gemini bispyridinium surfactant-based DNA nanoparticles.
The interaction with a model membrane, the formation of DNA nanoparticles, and the transfection ability of a homologous series of bispyridinium dihexadecyl cationic gemini surfactants, differing in the length of the alkyl spacer bridging the two pyridinium polar heads in the 1 and 1' positions (P16-n with n = 3, 4, 8, 12), have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a...
متن کاملTopic Introduction Nonviral Gene Delivery
Modern cell biology increasingly relies on molecular tools to facilitate the study of cellular processes. With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify almost any gene, and fluorescent proteins that can be fused to any desired target protein, the number and scope of functional studies designed to determine the roles of protein...
